Some performance benchmarks have dropped significantly, for a few days, recently, due to a few commits, in a codebase that is under version control (git), in an unreleased branch, and so presumeably can be backed out, cherry-picked, etc. Calling this a disaster I think is hyperbole. Because unless there's some incredible benefit to the commits in question, distinct from the negative performance impact, that outweighs the performance impact, I'm sure those changes will either be backed out or reimplemented. Also, the OA's choice of title specifically feels like hyped-up link bait.
